2015 Journal Cancellations

Aug. 4, 2014 - The MCW Faculty Library Committee and MCW Libraries have recommended to cancel the following journals for the 2015 subscription year. These journals were selected for cancellation based on at least one of several factors including: low use, high cost per use, poor format, or an acceptable alternative is available. The cancellations are necessary due to the budget outlook for MCW Libraries in comparison to the market increases from publishers.

If you have concerns or comments about these journal cancellations, please e-mail Karen Hanus, Assistant Library Director.
